I haven't seen any traffic on [email protected] in the month that I've been subscribed, so I don't know if this has been hashed over already. Perhaps this discussion should be redirected there, but... I think it might be useful to have a list that an ISP or other Net user could check to see if a problem had been _reported_, or to see the extent of an outage as reported by the users of the systems in question. I know my helpdesk people would like to know about unreachable sites before they go having Joe Luser tear apart his trumpwsk.ini. I realize NANOG is not the place, but neither is a cacophony like inet-access. There are only a few vendors using the RA's IPN page...and outage-discuss is for the discussion of mechanisms to report such...why not just create a list for the discussion of outages themselves in the mean time?
